Keto and Atkins and stuff like that are great to lose weight because they shift focus to healthier, more calorie-dense foods and away from a lot of simple or processed carbs.
The problem is that they're not balanced at all and thus usually impossible to maintain.
The key is really shifting from carbs to protein. It's pretty much that simple. You don't need a diet plan to tell you that.
